Reaction Rate The speed with which products form from the reactants.
Exo- and Endothermic Reactions Exothermic reaction: reaction gives off energy. reactants products + energy Endothermic reaction: reaction takes in energy. energy + reactants products
Bonds and Energy When bonds are broken: energy is absorbed. (analogy: stretching a rubber band) When bonds are formed : energy is released. (analogy: releasing a stretched rubber band)
Ex: Exothermic • H2 + Cl2 2 HCl + 183 kJ/mol
Ex: Endothermic 2HgO + 181.7 kJ 2Hg + O2
Net Energy Change DH= Potential Energy of Products -Potential Energy of Reactants DH <0 exothermic DH >0 endothermic

Activation Energy • Minimum amount of kinetic energy the reactants must have in order to react. • The particles form an activated complex (transition state) that is an unstable arrangement of atoms that lasts a few moments. Then the products are formed.

Reaction Rates are affected by: • Concentration • Temperature • Catalyst • Surface Area (Particle Size) • Mixing (Stirring)
Concentration Effect on Reaction Rates The more concentrated, the higher the reaction rate. Why? http://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en/thumb/f/ff/525px-Molecular-collisions.jpg
Temperature Effect on Reaction Rates The higher the temperature, the faster the rate. Why?
Catalyst Effect on Reaction Rates A catalyst lowers the activation energy, thus the reaction proceeds faster.
Particle Size (Surface Area) • The smaller the particle size the faster the rate.
Inhibitors • Substances that negate the effect of the catalyst.
